An autonomic nervous system that co-regulates and self-regulates with ease creates the possibility for clients to move out of their past need for protection and embody a system that finds joy in connection.
Polyvagal-informed therapy honors the role of the autonomic nervous system in shaping our physiological experiences and psychological stories and offers strategies to engage the rhythm of regulation in fostering change.

The autonomic nervous system responds to the challenges of daily life by telling us not what we are or who we are but how we are. Once we understand the role of the autonomic nervous system in shaping our lives, we can never again not see the world through that lens.
